April 3, 200719 yr Because????????? If his greatness depends on size, hands, agiligy, awareness, touch, SIZE, or aggressiveness...... What don't you like? 2 lottery picks just looked bad.....VERY BAD. Florida either fouled him or he scored. He dominated the lane altering shots and bolcking shots. Why can't Oden not be GREAT? He he gets the ball he makes a move. If the move fails, he is athletic enough to still score. Did you see the block/goaltend that was above the square? Not at the top, but several inches above the square. Maybe because it's the first time he's done it all season. He's Randolph Morris with more talent..
April 3, 200719 yr He's a freak athlete at this level. In the NBA there are guys that are every bit as athletic as he is, some even more so. How many seven footers in the league are as athletic (big, strong, and fast) as him? He's also 19 and is 8 years from his prime.
April 3, 200719 yr How many seven footers in the league are as athletic (big, strong, and fast) as him? He's also 19 and is 8 years from his prime. Or he's 40 and 10 years past his prime... :lol:
April 3, 200719 yr It a tough pick. You almost have to take a "chance" with Oden to see if he can become the next great center(I don't see it). Durrant is a great player and will probably be better. But I would take Durrant.
April 3, 200719 yr Maybe because it's the first time he's done it all season. He's Randolph Morris with more talent.. WOW!!!!!! And you say you're done with me.....
April 3, 200719 yr How many seven footers in the league are as athletic (big, strong, and fast) as him? He's also 19 and is 8 years from his prime. There are a lot of NBA big guys just like him. They are all freaks like that.
April 3, 200719 yr Durant is already more complete a player than Oden will probably ever be. He can do it all and will at the next level.
April 3, 200719 yr WOW!!!!!! And you say you're done with me..... Let's see. 1. He fouls too much. 2. He spends a lot of time on the bench because of it. 3. He has good footwork and position in the post when he's motivated to get it. 4. When the offense isn't running through him he tends to bog the team down and limit chances for his teammates. 5. He has games where he just isn't mentally motivated to give a crap. Randolph Morris with more size and talent. Write that down...
April 3, 200719 yr There are a lot of NBA big guys just like him. They are all freaks like that. Who?????? Seriously????? Garnett? Who else? Amare???? He's 100% athlete, that has a decent shot. I'll take a hook and various spin moves over that. Brad Miller? Too slow not athletic enough? Yao, too slow and not even close in speed and agility. Speed? Strength? Upside? Size? Agility? Where's the downside here?

Randolph Morris with more size and talent. Write that down... I disagree 100% but in the NBA touch fouls are rarely called and you get 6 of them. Plus the more he plays against big centers the better he'll get defensively. Paychecks motivate.

Garnett and Amare are the types of players that are the future of the NBA just like Durant, Oden is nothing like either one of them.
April 3, 200719 yr The true center is a dying breed in the NBA, the do it all freak is a necessity. Where are their rings?
